My mastectomy was in 2002. My surgeon died in 2005 and I have not seen any other surgeon. I'm thinking not to replace this surgeon since my cancerous breast was completely removed. However, sometimes I wonder if a surgeon should routinely check the other breast. My GYN does yearly breast exams and I get the routine mammograms on the remaining breast. What do others do for routine surgical follow-up, following a mastectomy?
